I stumbled into the world of HOPS during Michigan’s Great Beer State Conference in January 2022. Later that year, I visited Brian Tennis’ Farm in Omena, Michigan, where I got my first hop lesson. Since then, I’ve visited hop farms all over the great State of Michigan! 

Earlier this year, I wrote about hops for the Michigan Brew Trail.

I felt like a proud parent when the article was published (my article starts on page 24). You can read the entire article here. But don’t flip past the other articles! There are several good ones, including Jon Becker’s article featuring the Great Lakes Beer Festival at Dow Diamond in Midland, Michigan.
